The EASIEST Low Carb Bagels {Chaffle Bagel Recipe} (1)

There used to be this bagel shop in my town that sold bagel sticks – basically a bagel breadstick.

Y’all, those were the best bagels of my life.

Just me + a bagel stick + a bucket of cream cheese = pure heaven.

These days I avoid the bagels, but when the chaffle train came screeching into the low carb train station (I’ve had too much coffee today and my writing shows it), I instantly thought of an Everything Bagel Chaffle.

How to make keto bagel chaffles:

For the chaffle batter, you’ll need 1 egg, some mozzarella cheese, a little coconut flour, and some Everything Bagel seasoning. <— You can certainly use store-bought seasoning, but my recipe is quick, easy, and perfect!

Whisk together your egg, coconut flour, and seasoning and then stir in your mozzarella.

I really prefer finely shredded cheese in my chaffles, but use what you’ve got.

Add half of that mixture to your waffle iron and cook for 3 minutes. Repeat with the rest of the batter.

Bam. Everything Bagel Chaffles!

If you’re really feeling that bagel vibe, cut the center out of the chaffle with a sharp knife! So simple.

Of course, it would not be a bagel without a THICK smear of cream cheese. Load ‘er up.

What kind of waffle maker do you need?

You are going to want a mini waffle maker for this recipe. This size will make 2 bagel-sized waffles.

I use the Dash Mini Waffle Maker.

Don’t worry – you can order from Amazon for around $10 and I almost guarantee you won’t regret the purchase!

They’ve been on backorder for a bit due to the overwhelming love of the chaffle, but go ahead and order! I’m hearing from readers that they’re shipping out much sooner than the backorder date!

The Dash heats quickly, cooks quickly, takes up barely any space, and it comes in a variety of cute colors. I have the aqua.

If you want to make more than 1 mini waffle at a time, check out this one:

If you plan to make chaffles for a family, this should work great! I haven’t tried it myself, but plan to order because my kids are obsessed with chaffles too.
